Vast. Poem from a Dream. Healing. Soaring

lyrics

TINY GIFT

I found the tiny purple lantern
in a one room shop with infinite walls
only as big
as my 3rd fingernail
with Lamborghini type detail

small enough to wear
as a necklace
a bright but rich
deep purple color
not like anything
I have ever seen

the feeling and weight
of a pure purple agate
deep from the earth

warm and smooth
like a sea polished rock
with a little silver hoop at the top
for a chain

3/32 of inch
from the bottom
a small flair outwards on the sides
and a minuscule
indentation
a line perfectly etched
in the circumference

a gently twist
counterclockwise
and a slight pull
opens the line
2 millimeters

from this tiny crevice
emits
the brightest whitest
light
strong enough
to guide one through
the deepest of darkness
illuminating safe passage
of the most treacherous sea
and the densest fog
life can produce

a slight twist
clockwise now
and the light is off
safely tucked away till next time
I know right then I will pass this lantern on
only to those who need it most
